  • A look into how I make my butcher blocks. I condensed about 9 hours of work into less than 9 minutes for the video.
    It is made of maple and cherry and is 2 inches thick and weighs in at over 8 lbs. ▼▼▼ READ MORE ▼▼▼

    Tip for burn marks: Leave your router in the exact same config as when you burned the wood. Wet the burnt area and let it dry. As we all know, wetting the wood will cause it to expand a bit. When it dries it will be slightly proud of where it last was. Run the router over the area again. It should take off just the top layer or so, exposing the unspoiled wood beneath.

      Brian Hackett I have been wondering how to do this! Maple and Cherry seem to burn easy. I will be trying this out. I already wipe my boards down in between sanding with a wet rag to raise the grain. Helps to keep it smooth after I apply the conditioner.

    Thanks for sharing! I like your techniques and details. One issue I suggest to improve your quality is to remove all router burn marks. Maple is notorious for getting burned when routing. Cut it, scrape it, sand it off. Whatever it takes. Once you apply finish you really can't go back. Especially with your cool logo on there. Thanks again.

    I have made many end grain cutting boards over the years for clients, family, and my own home. A hand electric belt sander will sand the surfaces properly in about 10x the speed on end grain. I only spend about 5 minutes total on a 2 sided board right off the planer to make it perfect with my makita belt sander.
    Also, i used to use cauls to clamp all my boards as well, just like Marc Spagnuolo from the wood whisperer showed us all. I found out from Pop's Cabinet Shop that you dont need to do this. Just very slowly increase the pressure on the clamp. Andre from MTMWood does the same. No cauls, just clamp slowly. It is faster in the long run. I havent done a juice catch in a long time because its so hard to get them perfect with no burns without a CNC router. Great job.

    • @MaydaysCustomWoodworks
      @MaydaysCustomWoodworks 7 лет назад +1

      One more thing, that exact RO sander you got is the one i use for sanding rounded edges on those boards. You just quickly roll it 90 degrees on the rounded edges with a high grit like 180 to 240. It sands the edges super quick and looks even better than by hand

    For those out there thinking about doing this, just be warned that running an end grain board through a planer is rolling the dice. It can go horribly wrong, destroy the board, and harm your knives. So, milage may vary. Just be warned that it is something that is a real possibility. Use a router sled if you want to avoid the planer, or just use a hand plane.

    • @unclebob8746
      @unclebob8746 2 года назад +1

      Life is a roll of the dice.... take light cuts: 1/64 to 1/32. Use cawls on the ends and cut off later to prevent chip out on the ends. Make sure your blades are sharp. Check out mtmwood, broinwood, and other pros that make end grain boards for a living - they use planers.
